C511 dual hallucination
The neat formations of the cavalry were on two sides of the entire skeleton army's square formation, surrounding them from left and right, looking at the Skeleton Horse nosing around, giving off a faint feeling of wanting to try something.
Seeing that the skeletons on the other side were already in a formation to attack at any time, the few of them had a premonition that something was wrong. The previous densely-packed skeletons were already making it difficult for Wuya Anqin and the others to defend.
Right now, the skeleton legion had given them a visual shock. It was a shock that could not be described with words. It was a heart that could not be stopped. It was an unprecedented fear.
All the emotions were intertwined as they continued to sublimate and expand from the depths of his heart all the way to his brain. It was like fireworks that exploded in his mind, dispersing all his thoughts and leaving only the two words, 'flee', firmly imprinted in the depths of his mind as if it was carved into his heart.
"Boss, what should we do?" Green-skinned Man had already completely lost her mind, and asked with a trembling voice.
"This is a forest, the cavalry can't use their Charge at all!" Wuya Anqin forced herself to calm down, he knew that he could not afford to be disordered in the slightest, otherwise, only death awaited the five of them.
After looking around, Wuya Anqin's mind became a lot calmer, because it was surrounded by dense and lush forest, even a military outsider like him knew that this place was not used to cavalry charging, and cavalry that could not charge, was at most a little stronger than the infantry.
"But the enemy still has archers!" Can we get out of range? " Pig Man asked, he had his experiences on the battlefield, looking at those countless arrow feather, pressing down on him like raindrops. That feeling of powerlessness to live, and the unwillingness to wait for death to descend, all these tormented his heart, and it was even more painful than the moment of his death.
"We should retreat immediately and try our best to hide behind the big tree while running. This way, we can use the tree trunk to help us block the attacks of the arrow feather!" Wuya Anqin said as she made her decision.
"Good!" "Let's take a gamble!" The four of them nodded in agreement.
"Remember, if anyone falls behind, no one will rescue them, including me. That's why we have to rely on ourselves all the way to the end of this journey!" Do you understand? " Wuya Anqin coldly swept his eyes across the few people present, and then spoke to the others.
This arrangement seemed cruel, but it was also a matter of desperation. If one person were to fall, the others would go back to rescue him. This would inevitably involve the rescue team. This was not a worthwhile transaction!
"Understood. Life and death are determined by fate!" The four of them nodded with determined expressions.
"Let's go!" Wuya Anqin nodded and shouted.
Along with the short and powerful word "go", the five of them almost fanned out and fled in the same direction.
At the same time, this' departure 'gave the skeleton legion a signal to pursue them. The first to be activated were the cavalry on both sides, followed by the infantry and crossbows under the lead of the giant skeleton.
As they advanced, the crossbow troops were still performing indiscriminate shooting. The scattered and irregular bone arrow feather whistled through the air as it constantly landed on the tree trunks surrounding the few of them.
Apart from the crossbows, the biggest highlight of the skeleton legion belonged to the skeleton cavalry.
This was a cavalry unit that they had never seen before, and the degree of strangeness was also unprecedented. This kind of strangeness was not only because they were all made up of skeletons, but also because of the cavalry's equipment as well as the skeletons on their horses.
The cavalry on the normal continent was divided into light cavalry, which focused on speed, and heavy cavalry, which mainly focused on attacking and breaking through. There were two types of light cavalry: Bow Cavalry and Lance Cavalry. As the name implied, Bow Cavalry was mainly used to attack from afar, while Lance Cavalry was mainly used as sneak attacks and flanking aids.
However, this skeleton cavalry couldn't tell what kind of cavalry they were. If one were to call them light cavalry, then they had bone armour on their bodies and their warhorses. This was a completely heavy cavalry defense.
To define them as heavy cavalry, the weapons they wielded were not the heavy weapons that a heavy cavalry charge should have. Instead, they were long spears that belonged to light cavalry, equipped with short crossbows, agile shields, and crescent-shaped blades.
Just by looking at this kind of cavalry equipment, one could tell that its lethality was definitely not small. Coupled with that strange warhorse, perhaps even the most famous cavalry on the continent might not be able to take any advantage of these Skeleton Cavalry Soldiers.
It could even be used as a weapon of destruction, because wherever they went, any matter, animal or plant, would instantly be covered by a layer of frost and then turn into a ball of blue flames. However, this type of fire did not have a high temperature, so it gave people an extremely cold feeling.
Even the five people who were far away could feel the cold behind them when they were running. It was a bone-chilling cold. Even the giant, who had the most firepower, was shivering.
"Boss, something's wrong. Why didn't the enemy's cavalry slow down at all?!"
"You're asking me, but who should I ask!?" Run! "
"Boss, this isn't the way. How about we split up and flee?"
"This won't do, the enemy has many people, they will not be afraid of us splitting up!" Our separation, on the other hand, has provided the other side with the convenience of destroying the enemy one by one. "
"But, we rely on our two legs, while the opponent has four legs. No matter how much we run, we will still be caught up to!"
"Pig, do you have any hidden weapons that can block or delay the cavalry!"
"That's true, but is there any use in dealing with skeletons?"
"It's good to try!"
"En!"
The pig head did not know what was going on, so it just kept swinging to the two sides. The only thing that could be seen was a flash of cold light before it disappeared into the forest.
The five of them increased their speed once again. It was unknown if it was because they were faster, or because the Pig Man's hidden weapons were having an effect, or because the enemy cavalry had given up on chasing them.
The distance between the two increased bit by bit. This situation made the five of them even more joyous, and they were glad that they were still alive.
"Boss, there's light up ahead!"
"We should be leaving this forest soon. Let's speed up!"
Perhaps they saw a glimmer of hope as they mustered all their strength to sprint down the mountain. As long as they descended the mountain, they would be able to escape. Then, they would be beaten to death and they would be able to climb up the mountain.
However, when they rushed into the light, all five of them stopped at the same time! His face was filled with disbelief and fear.
In front of them was an endless plain. There were cracks in the red soil, no grass swaying in the wind, only dust dancing in the wind. There were no tall and lush trees, only lonely hills.
What was hanging in the sky was also not a sun. It was like a solar eclipse, bringing with it a little bit of light. However, it made the entire world especially dark and gloomy.
Perhaps the only thing that could give off this feeling was the towering mountain range in the distance.
This strange scene was not the reason that caused these five people to feel fear. The real reason was the tall and mighty gigantic skeleton in front of them, as well as the skeleton legion behind it!
The five of them chose to turn around immediately. Unfortunately, the forest that should have been behind them was gone! Some had boundless plains that matched the current environment.
"The illusion in the illusion world?"
"Boss, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing, looks like we can only fight to the death!"
"Boss, even if we were to fight to the death, facing such an army, we would be exhausted and forget about it. We need to find a way out as soon as possible!"
"All of you buy me some time. I will use my mental power to forcefully open a path in this Fantasy Space!"
"How confident are you!?"
"I don't know!"
"This ?"
"Your thoughts are too simple. I can responsibly tell you that we are in the illusion, a kind of superimposed illusion. It's like you're having a dream, but you're also dreaming, and what you see is a deeper dream. "
"What's the difference?"
"Such a big difference, how the f * ck did I meet such an expert!?" I say that you all might not understand, but let me simply explain, how much you all can comprehend is up to you! "
"..."
"The illusions that we encounter are usually of a single nature. Although the power of the illusions is not small, we can only use the illusions to confuse the enemies, thus achieving the purpose of harming or killing them. Its existence is both on the soul and the body, and it directly attacks the human body from the very beginning. This has already broken away from the realm of pure confusion, and has already reached the realm of higher level illusions, and this kind of illusion is still in the process of being discussed and imagined, as far as I know, and no one can truly achieve that! "
"Then we ?"
"That's right, the place we are in is definitely a realm of multiple illusions. What we are facing is an extremely terrifying illusionist! He should have belonged to the earlier generation, and was probably older than the Twelve Ghost Commanders! Otherwise, it would be impossible to use your own strength to successfully develop and utilize multiple illusions. "
"Then Boss, what did you mean when you said you wanted to forcefully break through to the Dao Realm?"
"It is a method that greatly consumes spiritual force. The principle is to continuously condense my spiritual force into a dot, and then use the dot to tear open a crack in the illusion, allowing us to successfully escape!"
"This... Is this true? Are we really going to get out of here alive? "
Whether it succeeds or not, I do not know. Either that, we will be able to escape, but this is the first time I am using this technique in this kind of illusion. I am not sure if I will be able to break through all of the illusions and directly return to the real world. It is also possible that we might return to that first stage of the illusion! "
"Is there another possibility?"
"That's right. Either I failed to break open the crack or I died from the backlash of my powerful Mental Energy, and all of you will die here!"
"Boss, let's make a bet!"
"Alright, since we're not going to bet, we have nowhere else to go!" However, you have to buy me an hour. Gathering and compressing spiritual force is very time-consuming, and the greater the amount of spiritual force compressed and converged, the greater the probability of success! "
"Don't worry boss, leave it to us!"
